Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Saturday, January 26, 2002 1:04 PM Victims compensation I am attaching what I sent to the Families of September 11, and I want you to know that this is the feeling of many of the people that I talk to in my community. Thank you To Whom it may concern, I do not want to sound cold hearted, callous, or uncaring, but many of the families involved, including your organization, sound greedy and self-righteous. Yes, you lost your loved ones, but so do families of soldiers in combat, police officers, firefighters, and many others. Is it the job of the government to compensate these people also? What about the soldier who loses his life and only has $10,000 of GI insurance, or the police officer who is shot by a crackhead? They are not reembursed with this extraordinary amount that you are receiving. $1.65 million is ample, and proceeds from life insurance or worker's compensation should be deducted from this amount. You are greedy to want more, when there are 34 million people in this country without health insurance, people are going hungry, people are homeless, and children are mistreated. Who do you think you are to demand more? Most people are afraid to write you because they may sound cruel, but the talk in the coffee shops, barber shops, beauty parlors, and the street, all back up what I am saying. Be thankful for what you are getting, and do not take any more advantage of the generous American public.
